COUNTRY JOURNALISM.
Valdosta Times.

Few people realize how much
palnstaking it requires to get out
live paper-even weekly in town
the size OF Valdosta. 1t is compare
lively an easy matter for one who
handles the pencil with moderate
facility to write up matters in which
ne feels personal interest, to indite
news items when they are plentiful
but the rub comes when given space
has to be filled weekly to suit the
varied tastes and fancies of numer-
GUS constituency, no matter how dull
the sensibilities for the time, nor how
scarce the items of interest to be
picked up. Week after week, as reg
ular as the sun in its cycle, the sharp
ened pencil must etch out its work.
Confined to narrow limit-to the
homespun affairs of provincial life,
which are usually of sedate and
rotlne characteristic country editor
has very much of treadmill life to
pursue. His paper is taken and read
because of its local interest, there
fore he deals lightly in politics and
matters and news of a general ma
ture; and he dare not dip into local
scandals, like the big dailies do. In
these large and fertile fields he loos-
es matter for his eager pen. He
must, week after week, work over
the same ground, and if he is able to
thrown spice or variety in his work
he is a genius.
We said his editorial work was of q
tedious sameness- wanting in q suffi-
cheney of fertile resources; but he
has other labors, too many of them,
which do not tend to clear his brain
for editorial work. He is his own
bookkeeper, his own collector, and
canvasser, his own mailing clerk, his
own business manager and very often
his own printer. These duties, to-
gether with his modicum of time Civ
en- to local institutions of a public
nature, which draw on his mind and
purse, thrown in, do not tend to
tighten or facilitate the work he has
to do with pencil and shears.

which wants to get as near the gates
of hell as it can and yet keep an en-

David was great sinner, but Da-
vid was a magnificent repenter. He

he also beat them repenting.
If elegant preaching could have
saved Boston, she would have been

inelegance, ought to be refreshing to
you.

PRICES COMPARED.

Comparisons are at times valuable.
In this section of the country we
hear great deal of complaint about
the low prices for cotton, but not a
word of congratulation upon the
great decline of other commodities.
1t Is demonstrated that the purchas-
ing power OF money has been increas-
ed in considerable greater proper
ton than the decline in cotton has
been, and therefore while the produ
GERS OF cotton have not handled quite
as much money as they did when cot
ton was high, they have been able to
purchase more with the proceeds of a
bale OF cotton than at high ones.
The Baltimore Manufacturers Re-
cord prints table compiled from Of
fetal market reports composing fifty
hive articles of daily consumption, in
Guiding groceries, -four canned goods,
staple dry goods, lumber, nails, iron
and steel. On January 10, 1873 the
average price of the fifty-fve articles,
supposlng that a pound, dozen, a
barrel, yard, ton, etc, of each
had been purchased would amount to
total of s678.41; on January IA,
1887, precisely the same quantities
OF the same fiity-fve separate com
modities could be purchased for S275.-
", showing decline in value of
commodities in every day use of
s402.42. In other words S275 will
buy as much now as S678 did in 1878.
and certainly no candid farmer can
truthfully say that the decline in cot
ton and other farm products has been
near as great as in other things. The
Manufacturers Record concludes by
saying: 'These facts are well worthy
OF careful study. They show that
the decline since 1873 in what the
farmer buys has been far greater
than the decline in what he sells; so
that he is better off to-day than he
was then. The farmer of to-day con-
siders as necessaries what farmers of
1873 looked upon as luxuries. =

A cow AND GALE PROBLEM.

Enquirer" put this question to
the Boston Journal
Mr.. A. had heifer calf given him.
AT the age of two years she had a
calf and continued to have heifer
calf every year after this; and each
calf became the mother OF heifer
calf at the age of two years and had
one each year after. When the first
was twenty years old how many cows
and calves were there, providing there
had been no deaths among them? ?"
The answers received have varied
widely. One little miss figured out
l55 as the total sum. "Enquirer's'
own figures were 17,711, while anoth-
err man said 28,317. The majority
united upon 10,046. A similar ques-
ton was propounded in the Maine
Farmers Almanac few years ago,
the difference being that each sup
positions COW had two heifer calves.
1t was then decided that the number
of COWS at the end of twenty years
would be 699,051.

JUST OUR EXPERIENCE.

The following from the Albany
News strikes the key note of our ex-
perience
Sometimes it makes us sick, some
times it makes US mad, and then
again it makes us sorry, when town
loater or some other drone in the hive
accosts us with, "Why don't you
boom the town? Don't you see what
they are doing over in Birmingham
and other towns ? What we need is
more capital and big hotel. Why
don't you get up a stock company
and build a big hotel Look at
Townsville. Albany has superior
natural advantages to those of Thorn
asville or any other town in South
ern or Southwest Georgia. And you
ought to get up big land company.
These land companies boom town.
Why don't you get up something of
that kind 2" We get some such talk
as this nearly every day OF our lives,
and from men, too, who have and
never will do anything to help "boom
Albany" They seem to thiuk that
the local paper ought to do every
thing-build city, boom it and sup
port it on wind.-Brunswick Appeal.

A Pointer for Dec, published at Boston,
Mass
The name of the Ty Ty Route has
not the most remote connection with
the undertaking timbers of the road
way. Ty Ty is a station on the line
located among the pines and turpen-
tine orchards of the Brunswick &
Western RAILROAD, a most important
link in one of the great thoroughfares
between the West and Florida
which through palace cars run be-
tween Cincinnati and Jacksonville.
Sure and prompt connections are
made at Albany, and there are no
disagreeable changes, or transfer
the same rule applies at Waycross,
when connections are made for Sa-
vannah and Jacksonville thence the
road runs to Brunswick, where is
Georgia's great deep water harbor
and one of the finest on the whole
Atlantic coast, and to which port the
road carries large trade in cotton,
timber and naval stores.

IN HASTE TO BE RICK.

Men at first begin to make a lit
tie they find how easy it is; they
enlarge thoir ambition, and the CON
ception dawns upon them: "Why
am not | one of those who are ap-
pointed to be millionaires p In the
beginning of life a few thousands
would have satisfied their ambition.
Nov hundreds of thousand seem to
them but a morsel. They grow more
and more intense. Temptations be-
gin to fall upon them. They begin
to be tempted to make fortune
quickly. A man who is in haste to
be rich does not reflect that he shall
inevitably fall into harm and destruc
ton.
You can no more make money
suddenly and largely and be unharm-
ed by it than a man could suddenly
grow from child's statute to "a mans
statute without harm. There is not
a gardner who does not know that a
plant may grow faster than it can
make wood; that the cellular tissue
may grow faster than the lgneous
consolidation, and then it cannot
hold itself up. And many men
grow faster in riches than they can
consolidate. This alone is a reason
why men should not make money
faster than they know how to organ
ize it, and themselves to it.-Henry
Ward Beecher.

Ten years ago Thomas f. Clark
jokingly gave Miss Julia A. Malcolm
of New Haven a deed of certain Col
orado lands, which he thought to be
valueless. She said that she'd keep
the document to remember him by,
locked it up, and has since been
earning her living by teaching school.
The other day she received letter
from Colorado, saying that there was
lead mine on her property, and $780,
600 was offered for it. Miss Malcolm
thought it joke, but finding that it
wasn't, she accepted the offer, and
the check is on its way East.

A DANGER AND A DUTY.
Savannah News.


dustrial spirit and manufacturing en-
tCrprisc in Alabama and Tennesse &C
suggest danger and duty which
ought to receive the earnest consid-
GRAFTON Of those who have the welfare
OF the South at heart.
Alabama and Tennessee are deal
ing with great figures. 1t is no un-
common thing to be told that this
iron property in Alabama, or that
coal property in Tennessee, is valued
at ten thousand or ten million of dol
lars. This, together with the rush
OF people to these two States bent
upon speculation, is likely to cause
an exaggeration of values, Wherev-
er a similar exaggeration has occur
red IN other sections of the country
an injurious collapse has invariably
resulted. The trouble with specula-
ton is that whenever it once takes
firm hold upon people it seems i'm
possible to shake it off until, in the
expressive slang of the day, the bot
tom drops out.
There is another view of the mat
ter. 1t is easy to mark up the price
of lots in Birmingham or Chattanoo-
ga, or to hold iron and coal proper
ties in the mountains of Alabama
and Tennessee at many times their
actual value, but to do so will sooner
or later deter investors from invest
ing and delay development. The re-
suit is easily seen. There will be an
end'to b0omS, AMI genuine industri-
al and manufacturing progress will
receive depressing check. Nobody
who wishes the South we'll would
like to see such a check. 70 prevent
it, wildcat schemes should be discour-
aged, asd investors should be fairly
treated.
Lured by the promise OF rapidly
acquiring fortunes, a by no means
inconsiderable number of Georgians
have gone to Alabama and Tennes-
see and invested their money. They,
of course, have the right to do as
they please, but it is none the less
true that they, and all other Geor-
gians, owe duty to the State of their
birth. In no respect have Alabama
and Tennessee the advantage over
Georgia. During the short time that
the Geological Bureau was in opera
ton it was demonstrated that Geor-
gia has a wonderful wealth of iron
and coal, not to mention other min
erals. The mountains of North Geor-
gia hold within their rugged blossoms
untold riches, while the fertile farm
lands of Middle Georgia and the al
most inexhaustible forests of South
Georgia contain riches fully as great.
1t is the duty of Georgians to stay at
home and develop the resources of
their State. Patriotism means some
thing more than the mere defense of
life and and home. 1t means the up
building of the land of ones nativity,
and to this task Georgians should
not hesitate to address themselves.
Why follow the will-o' the -wisp
promise Of fortunes in Alabama and
Tennessee, when fortunes may be
had in Georgia for the asking} The
same amount Of labor expended upon
the mountains and farm lands and
forests Of Georgia that is expended
| in Tennessee and Alabama will bring
fortunes just as readily here as there.
Moreover, these fortunes will be ac-
CURED without the necessity of sun
dering home ties, and while they en-
rich their possessors, they will add
to the greatness of the State.
